Does anyone know how to reference the value of a worksheet
name in a cell?

I know that if I type in the name "Stacey" in cell A1 and
then put the formula =A1 in cell A2 I'll get "Stacey"
there as well.

So if I have a worksheet named "Billing" what formula can
I put into cell A1 so that I get the word "Billing" there?

That way if I change the name of a worksheet cell A1 will
change as well.

Any clues?

Try

=MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1))+1,34)

put in A1, it will not create a circular ref..

The workbook has to be saved for it to work..
 
This seems to work for the name of the worksheet that you
are in. Would anyone know how to do this for an
additional worksheet?
So a formula in A1 of sheet1 that will put the name of
sheet2?

thanks,
Stacey

At http://longre.free.fr you'll find the "morefunc"-add-inns that contain a
sheetname-function that makes this possible
Helps ?
By the way, have a look at the setv-getv-function, it's great !
